Molecular Dynamics Analyses of Prion Protein Structures The Resistance to Prion Diseases Down Under /

Unlike bacteria and viruses, which are based on DNA and RNA, prions are unique as disease-causing agents since they are misfolded proteins. Prion diseases are called "protein structural conformational" diseases. This monograph is the book on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations nearly for a...
